True ... Hawking actually makes a better case for the existence of God than Descartes did. How about the popular permutation of Rene's money line then ... I drink, therefore I am.

With Descartes, it almost seemed to me he didn't believe in the existence of God himself. He seemed to just utter platitudes to keep the Chuch happy ... or maybe to avoid becoming fire wood.
